You can get a rough idea by comparing it with a known sample, being careful not to stretch the yarns. You can weigh the skein and measure its length, and see how that compares with the numbers for the known yarn. You can use a double knitting pattern and make up a swatch to see if the size is approximately right. Even yarns with the same designation can vary quite widely.
